Did we share a bed in Vegas?"Kade's eyes reflected the weight of the moment, a mixture of regret and anguish. "No, Lily. We didn't. I made sure you were comfortable on the bed, but I slept on the couch. I wouldn't cross that line, especially in such a vulnerable situation."A wave of relief washed over Lily, mixed with disbelief at the chaos that had ensued. She took a moment to process his words, the tension in the room palpable."So, nothing... happened between us?" Lily's voice was tentative, searching for confirmation.Kade shook his head, his expression earnest. "No, Lily. Nothing like that.

I hope I didn’t disturb your rest," the woman greeted her with a welcoming smile."Good morning," Bella replied, a bit confused by the new person, and still adjusting to being addressed as "Mrs. Carter." She felt a mix of appreciation for the smile and a subtle hint of being out of place.The woman continued, "My name is Maria, and I'm here to take care of the penthouse, groceries, and occasionally cook.

As you already know, Reid whisked me away to Morocco, and it was like a dream. But, you know, reality kicks in eventually."Lily nodded knowingly. "And where are you two lovebirds nesting in California?"Bella's eyes sparkled as she shared, "We're crashing in one of Reid's penthouses for now. It's extravagant, to say the least."Lily leaned in with a conspiratorial grin. "Extravagant? You mean over-the-top billionaire style?"Bella laughed. "Exactly that. I never thought I'd live like

"Whatever you need to say, you can say it in front of my wife."The lawyer hesitated, exchanging a glance with his junior colleague. "Mr. Wilson, it's not wise to give full control to your spouse for your entire estate and businesses.
